I've been dealing with this frustrating fungal infection in my groin for a while now. It's got this annoying itching and my skin has turned dark, almost black. I'm 48 and weigh about 80 KGs. I've been using forederm ointment for a month, but if I skip even a day or two, the symptoms come right back. I'm really looking for some help here. Is there something else I should try or any advice you can give me to get this under control?

It seems like you have a persistent fungal infection in your groin area. I recommend you try using Terbinafine cream twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks to treat the infection internally. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose-fitting clothing to prevent further irritation.

I'm really worried about my mom because she's got these dark blue vein patches showing up on her thighs, and shes complaining of a bit of pain there. Could this be something serious? What could it possibly be?
The dark blue blood veins patches on your mother's thighs, accompanied by mild pain, could be indicative of varicose veins or spider veins, which are common conditions characterized by enlarged, twisted veins. These veins can become visible due to weakened valves, allowing blood to pool and cause discoloration. Other possible causes include hormonal changes, pregnancy, obesity, and age-related factors. It's essential to consult a general surgeon
